Chengdu: People Eat Shoes While Eating. This Habit Makes People Sweat.

When the river is in front of the sun and the tea is fragrant, the tea drinker sees the shoe shining. Without saying anything, he takes off his shoes and sticks his feet on the chair. When the delicacies of the elegant restaurant are enjoying the delicacies, the others take off their shoes and give them to the shoemaker, regardless of their peculiar smell.

This phenomenon of "leisurely and carefree" can be seen everywhere in the leisure Chengdu. Everyone is accustomed to it. But few people think about it: is it not in accord with the image of civilized city to take off shoes and shoes in public places?

Scene 1

At six o'clock on March 15th, a soup pot shop in Shaw Ling Road was crowded. A middle-aged man in a red jacket sat at a table with friends.

Perhaps it was his shoes that were too dirty. He looked around and found that the mobile shoemaker was soliciting business, so he shouted: "leather shoes!"

As soon as the business was heard, the shoemaker quickly ran over and put a pair of black hair slippers to the feet of men.

Under the watchful eyes, the red jacket began to take off shoes.

At this point, the soup pot was put on the table, and the red jacket hurried to greet the shoemaker to take away his shoes.

Before the steaming soup pot, he lifted his chopsticks with the hand that had just taken off his shoes.

Under the table, the black slippers that he did not know how many people were walking rhythmically shook his feet.

Situation two

Yesterday afternoon, the bright sunshine attracted many people to drink tea in the park.

In a hundred flower pond park, a middle-aged man with some body fat and black sweater sat down and took off his shoes. He put his feet on the stool and shouted, "Hey!

Pedicure! "

Wearing a white jacket, the pedicure lady trotted along, and when many tourists chatted with tea, he took off his socks leisurely and carefree.

Situation three

"Master, wipe your shoes!

It's all dirty! "

At noon yesterday, Mr. Hong in Hangzhou was looking at a restaurant in Ping Street.

When he came to Chengdu, he often asked for a suit and leather shoes. He was always asked by the shoemaker.

"Enjoying life is right, but shoes should always take care of time and place."

Chengdu has not only fixed shoe stalls, but also a large number of mobile shoemaker, the price is basically uniform, 1-2 yuan / double.

The greater the flow of public places, the more shoe shoemaker.

The shoeshine shoemaker, who is often in the vicinity of the double Nan District, looks after the elder sister, saying that the best time for dinner is to wipe nearly 20 pairs.

That is to say, only in the double Nan District, there are at least 20 people who take off their shoes in public places at dinner time. This is a scene on the streets of Chengdu.

Miss Qin, the public, was very disgusted with this. She felt that if she saw someone taking off shoes next to her meal, it would immediately affect her mood to eat.

Diagnosis of bad habits

It's neither healthy nor civilized.

Through the reporter's long-term observation, most of the men who eat and polish shoes are mostly men. The slippers provided by the shoemaker are usually dirty. Many dark colored slippers are worn away quickly, and no signs of cleaning are seen.

It can be imagined how many people will wear the slippers and how many germs they may have.

Pan Xianyi, Dean of the school of public administration of Sichuan University, thinks that taking off shoes or barefoot in public places is disrespectful and uncivilized to others. It is not consistent with Chinese traditional civilization and etiquette. It is also inconsistent with Chengdu's image as a national health city.

Many uncivilized behaviors are caused by the inconsistency between people's cognition and practice.

"For example, eating and taking off shoes, many people know that it is uncivilized, but no one else is bound, people often lack self-discipline, only to map their convenience, regardless of other people's feelings."

He suggested that we could start with the operators of restaurants and teahouses, prohibit mobile shoemaker from entering, and strengthen management from the source, so that people can not take off their shoes at random when they eat in public places.
